The knowledge of the basis of the mathematical functions analysis, the basis of the differential calculus and the physics in its mechanics part are requested.

Educational Goals

The main goal of the course is to make the students able to face the first part of a complex mechanical project.

Content

Applied Mechanics aims to give competence in the field of mechanical design and mechanisms functional analysis, especially in the first parts of the design process. The course gives indications and methodologies on how to build a scheme and a mathematical model concerning mechanical components and systems.
The main subjects are: the structure of a machine, machine dynamics, main Mathematical models (point, rigid body, linkages, relative kinematics.
